scholarly journals Thermo-Gravimetric Analysis of Various Ratio of Blended Phenolic and Epoxy Composites

Present research deals with the various ratio (0%, 40%, 50%, and 60% by wt%) of phenolic resin and epoxy resin blend composites. Phenolic resin/Epoxy resin blend composites were manufactured by hand lay-up technique and investigated the thermal properties (thermogravimetric analysis) of composites and evaluated optimum ratio of epoxy in phenolic composites. The residual content of pure phenolic was very high however the pure epoxy showed least thermal stable. After blending phenolic resin in epoxy resin, the thermal properties of epoxy/phenolic composite improved.

In order to improve the toughness of epoxy resin, hydroxyl-terminated polyethersulfone (PES) with various amounts (0 wt.%, 5 wt.%, 10 wt.%, 15 wt.%, 20 wt.%) were added to bisphenol A epoxy resin (DER331)/ curing agent DETDA (E100) systems, and the influence of PES contents on curing process and heat-resistance was studied. Non-isothermal DSC was used to determine the curing process of uncured DER331/E100/PES systems at heating rate of 2°C/min, 5°C/min, 7°C/min, 10°C/min and 15°C/min separately, and the apparent activation energy was calculated based on Kissinger method. The morphology of the etched cured DER331/E100/PES systems with different PES contents was observed by SEM. The heat-resistance of these systems was investigated by DSC and TGA. The results showed that with the increasing of PES content the curing exothermic peak, the heat of curing reaction, the initial and final curing temperature all decreased at the first and then increased, indicating that when the PES content was low (5 wt.%, 10 wt.%), PES can facilitate the curing process, while, when PES content up to 15 wt.%, PES can prevent or weaken the curing reaction. SEM results indicated that the phase structure changed drastically depending on the PES content. The systems with 5 wt.% and 10 wt.% PES were epoxy-rich phase, with 15 wt.% PES was co-continuity phase, and with 20 wt.% PES showed complete phase inversion (PES rich phase). The glass transition temperature and thermo gravimetric analysis demonstrated that the addition of PES can increase the heat resistance of cured DER331/E100/PES systems.

In this study, the thermal properties of a kind of new geotextile materials, so called controlled permeable formwork (CPF), were studied. Thermo-gravimetric analysis showed that the weight of CPF didn’t change much between 0~350 °C. Dynamic mechanical analysis showed that the storage modulus of CPF reduced from 25 MPa to around 10 MPa when the temperature rose to above 100 °C. The strength of sample decreased slightly with the increase of the temperature. The breaking elongation changed slightly with a maximum at 80 °C. The CPF showed excellent thermal stability and was suitable for general use in construction work.

In order to improve the toughness of the cured aromatic tetrafunctional epoxy resins in the premise of influencing the thermal properties as little as possible, the aromatic tetrafunctional epoxy named N,N,N’,N’-tetraglycidyl-4,4’-diaminodiphenyl ether (TGDDE) was modified by a dimer carboxylic acid (DFA), and then the epoxies were cured with methyl nadic anhydride (MNA). In the present work, the toughness was characterized with the impact resistance tested by pendulum impact testing. Besides, the thermal properties of the cured epoxy resin were investigated with the thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The impact testing results indicated that the toughness of the cured resins could be improved after the modification and increased with the increasing content of DFA. The thermal analysis showed that the thermal properties of the cured resins were not influenced obviously since the thermal stabilities of the products could be improved and the glass transition temperature of them were not influenced obviously when the tetrafunctional epoxy modified with appropriate content of DFA.

The influence of F/P on structure and thermal property of resin was studied. Six resins were synthesized with different molar ratios of F/P. These resins were cured by means of temperature and without catalyst. The characterization of the resin was done by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential thermo gravimetric analysis (DTG). From the thermal properties of fully cured resins, characteristic properties including pyrolysis temperature and char yield were obtained. A maximum in the benzene ring substitutions, methylene bridge and the result of the thermal properties allow us to say that the resin with F/P molar ratio 1.2 has the highest crosslinking density and highest char yield, over 73%.

Waterbased phosphorous modified phenolic resin was prepared by introducing a phosphorous monomer. Effect of phenol and aldehyde mol ratio and ODOPM content to the stability was studied. The flammability of the prepared composite material was studied by TGA (Thermo gravimetric analysis), LOI (limited oxygen index) and UL-94 test. The results show that stable phosphorous modified phenolic resin can be prepared. TGA, LIO and UL-94 test result show that the hybrid material presents better flame retardancy.

In this work, SC-15 epoxy resin was modified using 0.1–0.3 wt. % of non-functionalized and functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) using conventional and solvent based methods. A high-intensity ultrasonic liquid processor was used to disperse MWCNTs in solvent and to obtain a homogeneous molecular mixture of epoxy resin and MWCNTs. Viscosity, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), tensile and flexure tests were performed on unfilled and 0.1–0.3 wt. % MWCNTs filled SC-15 epoxy. Preliminary results indicate increase in viscosity with increase in MWCNTs wt. % loading and 0.2 wt. % MWCNTs epoxy samples showed the highest improvement in tensile and flexural properties as compared to the neat system. DMA studies also revealed that 0.2 wt. % doped system exhibit the highest storage modulus and Tg as compared to neat and other loading percentages. TGA results show that amino functionalized MWCNTs samples are more thermally stable.

A novel biodegradable and biocompatible composite of Poly (propylene carbonate) (PPC) and graphenes oxide (GO) was prepared by a solution blending method. The chemical structure, thermal properties and microscopic morphologies of the GO/PPC composites were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was shown that the GO/PPC composites with 0.75 wt% GO performed a significant improvement on mechanical properties and thermal properties, as compared with the neat PPC. This composite could become a promising alternative to non-biodegradable for food packaging materials.

A new kind of high performance benzoxazine (BOZ) was synthesized from p-aminophenol functionalized chloropropyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (AP-POSS), aniline and paraformaldehyde through a solvent-free process. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was employed to characterize the structure of the new BOZ resin contained POSS (POSS-BOZ). The differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) was chosen to research the curing behavior of the new resin, and the thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) was chosen to research the thermal properties. The results show that the POSS-BOZ is successfully synthesized, and the POSS-BOZ also exhibits better thermal performance in comparison with bisphenol-A benzoxazine (bA-BOZ).
